IT TAKES TWO host Zoe Ball had a shock tonight when Olympic long-jumper Greg Rutherford began shimmying up against her while she was announcing the song list for week eight of Strictly Come Dancing.

During the jukebox segment of the Strictly spin-off show, Zoe revealed that Louise Redknapp and her partner Kevin Clifton would be dancing the American Smooth to Dame Shirley Bassey’s ‘Big Spender’.
As ‘Big Spender’ began to play, Greg and his fellow Strictly co-stars Ore Oduba, Natalie Lowe and Joanne Clifton came running on with Shirley Bassey masks and feather boas.
The 29-year-old athlete promptly walked behind Zoe and began dancing against her.
Through laughter, Zoe said: “Oh Greg, stop it! Stop, Greg, stop!” as he threw his feather boa around the presenter.
